Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0289 Chapter 0288 Thats when I noticed that most of the fighting had stopped People were plling into the cars .

Then I heard it .

Shouting 1 Strange voices .

Men I didnt recognize .

Get the car ready , one of them ordered .

We have the asse .

More shouting .

Dr.

McIntyre .

David broke free from our grip while I was distracted , bolting toward the building .

We tore after him , my heart pounding , just as the front doors burst open .

People poured out the doctor , flanked by two men in dark suits , The engine of a black car roared to life .

Dr.

McIntyre dove into the backseat , one of the suited men right behind him .

The other jumped into the front , and before I could react , the black car sped away .

More cursing .

More shouting .

Men sprinted toward the blue cars , yelling to follow them .

But then- David howled .

Everything stopped .

The men hesitated , turning toward him .

Boss ? one of them called uncertainly .

Shit , another muttered .

Scrub the mission .

Lets get out of here .

Two men leapt into one of the remaining blue cars , which peeled off immediately .

Another man held the back door open .

David didnt hesitate .

He lunged inside , still in Wolf form , and the blue car sped off in the opposite direction of the black one .

Theyd given up .

At least for now .

I slowed to a stop just a few feet from Alexanders car , panting , my mind racing .

David had escaped .

Frustration burned through me , my wolfs anger so fierce , so overwhelming , that thinking past it felt impossible .

I lay on the ground , struggling with my own thoughts , trying to will myself to shift back but I wasnt sure how .

Exhaustion crashed over me .

It made sense .

My body wasnt used to the transformation .

But that didnt stop the fear curling in my chest , the terrifying sensation of being so utterly out of control .

Ella .

Alexanders voice was gentle .

+25 BONUS Chapter 0288 I lifted my head to see him approaching .

He luelt beside me in the dirt , and I stared up at him , whimpering despite myself .

How ridiculous must 1 look to him ? But his expression wasnt one of annoyance or judgment .

No , Alexander looked almost … awestruck Look at you , he murmured , his hand moving as if to touch my fur then hesitating You did it .

I whimpered again .

I wanted to respond , but I couldnt .

My thoughts were a jumbled mess , my heart racing too fast .

I felt sick .

You must be freaked out , Alexander said softly .

But you lid so well .

We got the doctor .

You distracted David long enough that his men didnt know what to do without is orders .

We managed to get Dr.

McIntyre shes being taken to a secure facility .

He hesitated , then added , And , Ella … I think its important for you to know .

She came with us willingly .

I think we can trust her to give us the information we need .

His words helped anchor me , but I still couldnt calm myself enough to shift back .

I nudged against him lightly , hoping he would understand .

Alexander took the hint .

With careful , steady movements , he ran his fingers down my head , through my fur .

Electricity shot through me at his touch , and the tension unraveled from my muscles .

A wave of exhaustion hit me like a tidal force .

The tingling sensation in my bones signaled the shift .

It was less painful this time or maybe I was simply too drained to feel it .

I barely registered my human form returning before I collapsed on the ground , naked and dazed .

Alexander shrugged off his jacket , wrapping it around me before I even had the strength to shiver .

I wanted to thank him , but the words wouldnt come .

He lifted me effortlessly into his arms , carrying me his car .

Safe .

I was safe with him .

Sleep clawed at me , and this time , I didnt fight it .

toward As I drifted , I felt Alexander settle me gently into the seat , maneuvering me into a comfortable position , buckling me in .

Right before sleep claimed me , I could have sworn I heard him mutter- You crazy girl … I love you .
